If you are wondering what ever happened to that determination letter request that you made for a client, the IRS has provided a web page to assist practitioners with checking on the status of their requests. The web page entitled “Where is My Determination Letter Request?” allows you to gauge how back-logged the IRS is with respect to reviewing Forms 5307, 5300, 5310, and 6406, and tells you which ones the IRS is currently reviewing based on a “Received Date.” For instance, the IRS says it is currently reviewing 5300’s that were submitted back in July of this year. (The web page can be somewhat reassuring since IRS Forms that have been submitted by taxpayers have been known to end up in some pretty surprising places.)
